Model-predictive kinetic control with data-driven models on EAST

Nuclear Fusion
In this work, model-predictive control (MPC) was combined for the first time with singular perturbation theory, and an original plasma kinetic control method based on extremely simple data-driven models and a two-time-scale MPC algorithm has been ...

Observation of stationary filaments with resonant magnetic perturbations in NSTX

Nuclear Fusion
The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) induces striated heat fluxes on the divertor plate in tokamaks. These striated heat fluxes were previously considered strike point splitting by the intersection between the divertor and predicted ...

Energy confinement scaling in the NCST spherical tokamak [PDF]

AIP Advances
Energy confinement time τE and its scaling law in the NanChang Spherical Tokamak (NCST) are investigated based on experimental data from NCST campaigns, with a focus on their dependence on plasma current (IP), toroidal magnetic field (BT), and electron ...

Exploring the physics of a high-performance H-mode scenario with small ELMs at low collisionality in JET with Be/W wall

Nuclear Fusion
A new H-mode regime at low density and low edge safety factor ( q _95 = 3.2, with $I_\mathrm{p}$ = 3 MA) that combines high energy confinement, stationary conditions for density and radiation and small Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) have been found in JET ...

The formation of an radial edge electric field due to finite ion orbit width effects is the possible root cause of the H-mode edge

Nuclear Fusion
Full orbit-following simulations of thermal ions show that finite ion-orbit width effects create charge separation near the last closed flux surface (LCFS) which generates a localized radial electric field.

Influence of the density gradient on turbulent heat transport at ion-scales: an inter-machine study with the gyrokinetic code stella

Nuclear Fusion
Efficient control of turbulent heat transport is crucial for magnetic confinement fusion reactors. This work discusses the complex interplay between density gradients and microinstabilities, shedding light on their impact on turbulent heat transport in ...

Impact of nitrogen seeding on L–H transitions and their role for detachment in ASDEX Upgrade

Nuclear Fusion
The required heating power, $P_{\mathrm{LH}}$ , to access the high confinement regime (H-mode) in nitrogen seeded deuterium plasmas is investigated at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. It is shown that a stepwise increase of the nitrogen seeding level increases
